Diamond Hotel

Just spent a great week at the Sineva Beach Hotel. Check-in was quick and bags taken to the room for you. Initial impression was good, room was clean and spacious. As we arrived after 9 and dinner was over there was a light snack of bread, cheese, cold meat, tomatoe, an apple and a bottle of water in the room for us. After a long journey this was more than welcome :-) The pool area is stunning, plenty of sunbeds and umberellas, water was bracing to say the least but it didn't stop the hardier guests from using it all day lol. The pool bar was lovely and had great views. There was direct access to the beach which was only a few steps away from the hotel. All meals were served buffet style in the restuarant, it is non-smoking but there is a lovely terraced area just outside that you can smoke in. We found the meals to be varied and always hot, not typicaly British food but not in Britain. There was always something we liked and I am a fussy eater. There is a wee dude at breakfast cooking fresh pancakes, fried eggs and thanks to Dave fried bread. At lunch and dinner this was replaced by grilled chicken or pork, always tasty and as you can see it getting cooked so you know always freshly cooked. Fresh salad, fruit and cakes also available. Snacks of pizza, pasta, ice cream and biscuits served next to the pool bar in the afternoon. This is a German based company so most of the guests are German, we knew that before we went and was expecting it. There were only 8 English speaking guests the week we were there (hello to Aileen, Dave, Sam, Jane, Debbie and Paul) and they were not advised of this, it was not a problem as most of the guests spoke better English than my German so we got on fine. The only thing that was a problem was the fact that the indoor lounge area was not very big and was way too close to the guest bedrooms on the 1st floor, a partition to protect them from the noise would be an idea, we were up on the 4th floor but you could see it being a problem if you were in the rooms there. The staff were great and the cleaners worked all the time to keep the whole complex spotless. There is a bus that runs to sunny beach and nessabar from 11.30 to 23.10 every day for 5 leva return to sunny beach and 10 leva to nessabar. Overall had a great time and will return to this hotel again :-)
